Brake Pad Change Out

Hey Guys,

Wonder if any of you guys have changed out your own brake pads and if so, what torque #'s did you use to tighten up all the bolts after you've removed the calliper... Pain in the a$$ btw.

I'm chewing through the stock pads pretty quick and have a set of Carbotech XP8's waiting to get mounted up before the next track day...

Any help would be much appreciated.

I also have the carbon ceramic brake package... so the callipers will be a bit different but I will take normal calliper torque specs as I'm sure they will be close.

I have. You don't need to remove the calipers on the front. I just snugged everything down tight. Probably in the neighborhood of 80-100 ft/lbs
